Description

Vintage/Antique Neck Tie. This is estimated to be from the 1930s to 1950s according to the 97 year old woman I got them from. Must be dry cleaned. Could be used as a craft or art project. Or could be cleaned and worn.

History: The necktie is a MUST for anyone’s “Sunday Best” outfit, but did you know the necktie has a more sinister origin? The modern necktie can be traced back to the time of the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648) when Croatian mercenaries, from the Croatian Military Frontier, wore their traditional small, knotted neckerchiefs in battle. The French were intrigued by the neck-wear and started calling it a "cravat" ("cravate" in French). The boy-king Louis XIV began wearing a lace cravat about 1646, when he was seven, and set the fashion for French nobility. The “cravat” went from a mercenary’s uniform to, ironically, a fashion statement of noble statues. This, by our best estimates, makes the boy-king Louis XIV the very first hipster, back before it was cool, of course. Today, the necktie has evolved and changed styles and length thanks to the 80’s and the falling waistline from the once-standard “belly button” height. Silk remains the finest material for a necktie.
